Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Automata with LaTeX

[tonguim]

Hi all,

I would like to draw some automata in a tex file.
I use the

Code: Select all

\usepackage{vaucanson-g} and
\usepackage{texlive-pstricks}

and have been required by my system to update the pstricks.sty file.
So I downloaded it from here PSTricks web site and according to this file, tried to update my tex directory as it is shown here:

dirtree.jpg (35.62 KiB) Viewed 10916 times

After that, I tried to run the texhash command.

After that I tried to run my tex file by this command line

Code: Select all

xelatex --shell-escape tp1.tex

(as pdflatex doesn't works with vaucanson and pstricks package), but still have this error message:

Code: Select all

Any help to fix this problem will be very appreciate. Thank you.

Simply remove the line that reads "\usepackage{texlive-pstricks}". The package is simply called "pstricks", not "texlive-pstricks", and you can tell from the log snippet that the pstricks package is already being loaded anyway, so there is no need to try to load it twice.

Works for me anyway.

Not a solution to the actual problem. Just a suggestion how to do that with pgf/tikZ.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{automata,positioning}

\begin{document}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[%
    >=stealth,
    shorten >=1pt,
    node distance=2cm,
    on grid,
    auto,
    state/.append style={minimum size=2em},
    thick
  ]
    \node[state] (A)              {$p$};
    \node[state] (B) [right of=A] {};
    \node[state] (C) [right of=B] {$r$};

    \path[->] (A) +(-1,0) edge (A)
              (A)         edge [loop above] node {$a$} ()
              (A)         edge              node {$a$} (B)
              (B)         edge [bend left]  node {$b$} (C)
              (C)         edge [bend left]  node {$b$} (B)
              (C)         edge [loop below] node {$d$} ()
              (C)         edge                         +(1,0);
  \end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Output in the attachment. Details in the package manual.

I would like to draw some automata in a tex file.

Any help to fix this problem will be very appreciate.

With xetex you do not need to load the package ifpdf and also the \ifpdf .\else..\fi. Simply use:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{vaucanson-g}
\begin{document}

\begin{VCPicture}{(0,-2)(6,2)}
\State[p]{(0,0)}{A} \State{(3,0)}{B} \State[r]{(6,0)}{C}
\Initial{A} \Final{C}
\EdgeL{A}{B}{a} \ArcL{B}{C}{b} \ArcL{C}{B}{b}
\LoopN{A}{a} \LoopS{C}{d}
\end{VCPicture}

\end{document}

and run it with "xetex file"

Hi all,

thank you for your answers. The solution to my problem was the answer given by Frabjous. I also removed the unuseful package ifpdf and also the \ifpdf \else as CrazyHorse said.

I'm sorry. Before your post, I spend many times seeking how to mark the post as solved; I haven't seen yet where to click

The rules actually can't be overlooked since they are placed on top of each forum in the »Announcements« section. Section 3 describes exactly what to do after a problem is solved. Post icons are displayed right above the input window.
